With more than a dozen groups on campus, a cappella has a strong presence at Northwestern. For most of the groups, that presence is now extending beyond Evanston borders, with studio albums building the groups' fan bases across the country and the world.

Of the 12 groups that make up the Northwestern A Cappella Community Alliance, 11 have already put out at least one album, with the 12th, the three-year-old Jewish group ShireiNU, in the process of recording its first-ever album. Several other NU groups are also currently producing albums, many of which will be available for purchase on iTunes.
